It would be cool if there was a feature where we can battle others on this site. How it would work is that when you go on a person page, there'll be a button saying "Challenge To A Battle" and the other person will be sent a PM telling them who challenged them. If they say no, it'll send the other person a PM telling them that their request was denied, if accepted the other person will get a PM saying their battle request was accepted, and both trainers will choose up 6 Pokemon and wait for the other to use a move. This could be held in the community page and each person will get a notification telling them that the other person made a move and that it's their turn.

I figured this would be a good idea since the pokemon have stats. Maybe moves can also be added?

So...support or no support?

EDIT: New idea: There could be an item called VS. Seeker sold in the shop and in order to battle more people, a user would have to recharge it by making a certain amount of clicks (maybe 100 to match the steps, basing this info on Firered, since I forgot the base steps in the newer games). This would promote people to click if they want to battle.

i think the hole idea would take a while for accepting / denying the request + all the moves , it be easier if the whatever is in your party, they battle , As a computer playing for the one thats fighting for you or them.
That way you can just do it all short easy and fast , I support this idea over all.

JordanXXX, while your idea is also good, I think people take more enjoyment from actually battling someone else, rather than a computer. Maybe there can be an option for both, though. I like your idea, too.

No. player vs player is a lot better than player vs fake(computer). when fighting a player, the fight patterns vary giving the battle flavor. where a computer battle would be plain and dull. plus someone could hack and make it so they always win against the computer. and if a user faces a user in battle and someone pulls that crap, they can report it to a staff member. where versus a computer the computer would just recognize it as a loss

Umbreon - what i ment by computer player is instead of waiting about 1 hour for the hole battle to happen it could take 1-5 minutes it could be Optionable to battle a computer , And No one is going to hack the game to win a battle... By that logic that could go both ways with your idea to... A computer wouldnt verse a computer you would. Again it's just to save time.

If you don't do it you won't have to worry about it. If you don't want to be hacked then just don't battle. And I think Riako would notice if the game gets hacked.

Anyway back to topic: Battle system is nice, but doing it via PM would take far too long. I suggest we wait until the battle system in the rumble areas is implemented and see how it works. And instead of moves the Pokemon (let's say Charmander) will use basic Normal type attacks and have a chance to use special Fire type moves, depending on the type of Pokemon.

Example:
Charmander will use basic attacks in 70%, but has a chance of 30% to use a Fire type move.
Larvesta on the other hand has either way still 70% for Normal moves, but 15% for fire and 15% for bug. Or it has 50% for normal, 25% for fire and 25% for bug.

You get it? xD (to all PFer: Imagine it being similar to the Dream world fighting system.) The fights would run on their own.

to be honest, dream world battling is quite boring. having the option to select what happens is awesome. instead of my ryukuza fainting even though i have potions

I have to agree with Umbreon. I'd like to actually choose what my Pokemon does, even if it just has basic type attacks and not specific ones. I never really liked the way the PF Dream World battles worked, either.

I guess it would take long by PM, but it's better than having the whole battle shut down as soon as someone goes offline. I agree, though, let's wait for the Rumble battle system to come out.

if i may make this comment I also play pokefarm & i hate that I can't choose what type of move it uses I was thinking while i was reading this that maybe you choose what type (as in fire water grass) that you want to use & that type move has a higher chance of getting picked rather than a set percentage that way the user still feels in control but it still gives a chance & for the pvp idea maybe instead of on pm it would use the user bar have like something flashing up there for the notification instead of a pm & if go offline before the battle is over its a draw but if you do it to many times maybe they start counting as loses. That is what i think sorry that i didn't wait knowing me i would forget by the tie the battling would come out

Okay I think we can agree that we should be able to pick the attacks. Another idea would be like Pokébattlers, where you can choose between the following (as an example, Charmander again)

Normal type - physical attack
Normal type - special attack
Fire type - physical attack
Fire type - special attack

Maybe we could choose between a normal type basic attack and a fire typ move, where pokemon with 2 types have their second type as a move instead of the normal type.

And for the fight itself, I'd say I send Diana a challenge on her Userpage, and she gets a pop-up once she reloads her page for example. She then accepts and we are taken to a battle page where we choose 6 Pokemon and fight round-based, but not over PM's but... I don't know how to put it. And whoever leaves the page before the battle is over gets a loss.

but there should be a break option. to take a break e.g dinner time and your in the middle of a battle and you have a 100+ winning stream 0 loss. you could use the break option and the battle would pause.

Mirej, so it would be like Pokebattlers, kind of? I guess I wouldn't mind that, though the whole originality deal...

As for the second part, I guess that would be ok, but it would be better if each person just waits for the other to make a move rather than make it an instant loss just because one person had to leave. There could also be an option to forfeit from the battle and that would count as a loss.

8 month bump! And I just came up with a new idea for this:

According to me , the battling feature has already been decided to get implemented and Riako might constantly be working on it even as we speak type .
About the suggestions on how the battling feature works ....... Some of you suggested that it can be similar to battling on other sites like pokefarm .
I don't think it should be like that .
It must be like something that no site has ever implemented before .It must be unique to Pokeheroes .
All in all , its really a good suggestion .
I support :) .
